Beautifully appointed hotel. You can tell that a lot of thought and effort went into the design. It has a historic feel to it but it is remodeled and modern. Comfortable rooms with large shower. Nice ambience. Very walkable to restaurants and bars.

Wonderful Hotel!

Truly a gem of a hotel - it’s beautiful, the rooms are huge, the staff is AMAZING, the coffee service that Tim provides in the morning is so perfect, beautiful and delicious. The nightly turn down service always includes a special treat, often freshly baked cookies. I’ve stayed multiple times in many rooms, and have been impressed every time!

My husband and I had a wonderful stay at Hotel San Buena. Everything is so thoughtfully curated, and the space is beautiful. Every staff member we interacted with was so friendly and helpful - the vibe was really welcoming. The location one block from the Main Street walking area with all it's shops and restaurants was fantastic. It was also an easy walk to the pedestrian bridge over to the pier. We wish we'd been there longer to take advantage of the bikes available to borrow! We really appreciated the complimentary snacks and drinks in our room as well as the evening cookies. Our room in the historic building was thoughtfully appointed and had everything we needed. It's worth noting that the bathroom shower and sink area is not a separate room, but a glassed off area, so it's definitely a set-up for people who are either solo or very comfortable with each other. We'd absolutely stay again and hope to do so!
